My tag line on the Insight Timer group I’m apart of sums this up for me perfectly “the treasure was deep inside all along”. It represents the deep revelation that I experienced some time ago that, when I first surrendered to Him, the Divine really did take up full residence inside. Those amazing scriptures I’d read: “…Christ in you, the hope of glory…” (Col 1:27), “…it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me…” (Gal 2:20), “…[my] life is hidden with Christ in God…” (Col 3:3), became living words of reality. This realisation has been embedded in me through my daily meditation practice of Centering Prayer. I thoroughly recommend this as way of loosing your life and finding it in Christ. As Fr. Thomas Keating writes:
“We must gradually recover the conviction, not just the feeling, of the Divine Indwelling, the realization that God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – is living in us. This is the heart of the spiritual journey, to which Centering Prayer is totally in service.” – Thomas Keating, “A Contemplative Vision for Our Times,” Intimacy with God
